Tongs ya bas 1,397 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 maybe not the best, but certainly the creepiest version of this blues classic. I came across it whilst learning it. It starts of ok, but then you see this ominous writing in the top left corner. Then kaboom! Does she know what she's doing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyrone Shoelaces 970 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) We were talking about ' Arthur Lee and Love ' the other day. " My Little Red Book " by ' Love ' is a great cover of a Burt Bacharach song. Edited January 1, 2018 by Tyrone Shoelaces 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His cornet riff in Dippermouth Blues is the basis for much of what followed. Quote “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

Trojan 3,318 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Louis's version of St James Infirmary is brilliant, but this is pretty good. Tom Jones has a great blues voice. Wasted at his peak in Vegas Quote “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM. An Earl and a Knight of the Garter.” Clement Attlee.

ivans82 783 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The Sensational Alex Harvey band did an album of covers "The Penthouse Tapes " some beauties on there . Delilah and Jacques Brels Next still my 2 favourites off earlier albums......like Mike Flowers Pops send up of Wonderwall , if only that it wound up the Gallagher brothers somewhat rotten apparently , and that`s always a good thing .

gogledd 1,142 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I haven't read the whole thread so apologies if I've repeated anyones choice. One of my personal favourites is 'Dub Side of the Moon' by Easy Star All-Stars. The whole of Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon" done in dub reggae - it really is superb. And not a p ss take but a homage. Last week I heard this and fell in love with it: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

" The Guess Who " did a good version but " The Twiliters " have a rough and ready version of it on YouTube. The bit of film the goes with their version makes " Viagra " redundant.

I prefer the Johnny Kidd version, and the Pirates own version on the 'out of our soul's album. We all have different preferences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
